It's tough to have a conscience when you kill for a living. So six years ago, Mallory Jade gave up killing. Now she's a fixer. Got a problem with a demon? She can help. Infestation of pixies? She's got you covered. Kidnapped by an undead lich? She's on her way. Anything you need, so long as she doesn't have to kill. It's her one unbreakable rule. Aside from a few near-death experiences, her new life is good, until her job dumps her in the lap of the man she walked out on six years before. Law Stanger, her former partner and lover, wants her back in his life. He's not above playing dirty. But Mallory knows it can never work. She has secrets Law can never understand or forgive. All Mallory wants now is to finish her job--track down an incubus and the precious box he stole--and get the hell out of town before Law shatters her heart again. But it wasn't fate that drew her and Law together after all these years, it was cunning calculation. Now they must face an enemy more powerful than they can imagine, one that has no intention of leaving anybody alive.… (meer)

I quite liked this. It turned into a real page turner. Mallory used to be an exterminator. When her conscience caught up with her and she decided than ending lives was no longer her cup of tea, she moved on from that. Now she does some freelance work. This particular job requires her to return a stolen box to it's owner. When her mark is murdered, her job takes an unexpected turn.

*I was gifted this book. The review is my own honest opinion. (

Mildly interesting, though I found the romance interfering with the magical adventure and vice versa. It's an interesting world. One major slip near the end, I think - at the beginning it sounds like exterminators are something the ghosts are very likely to encounter, something they have to regularly worry about. So how come at the end Mallory thinks that it's only her and Law who can "do this" - kill the ghosts? Logic hole. Maybe it leaked over from another series, where the heroine is (I quote) "a very special snowflake" in relation to her powers (there was an excerpt from that series at the end of the book). The whole thing is very much a setup, though that's part of the story - Mallory, and Law for that matter, are being seriously manipulated. It didn't quite work for me. If I come across more of Mallory's story, I'll probably read it, but I'm not particularly inspired to seek it out. (

Loved this book! It was a great start to a new series and it hooked me right away. I wish the book was longer, but a lot of books have gotten shorter lately. I look forward to the next installment. (

I read this and one other book I requested to review some time ago. I do apologize that while I posted reviews in places like Goodreads, Amazon, BN, etc; it never crossed my mind to post a review where I received the books...on LibraryThing Yes, I had an empty headed moment.

The Incubus Job is loaded with action. It starts off with Jade our main character, on an assignment and struggling to keep her cover. I like Jade"s compassion. She now helps those she once destroyed but her soft side seems to have strengthened her instead of making her weak.

The dynamic between Jade and Law her ex partner and lover has a nice balance. No constant drivel about their looks or body, and yet their attraction, as much as they fight it, is obvious. I loved the fight scene. It's described so eloquently I could actually picture each move, feel the fear and angst.

This book is more than worth the read. (

I really enjoyed this book. It has romance, mystery and ghosts. What more could you want??
Mallory and Law are great together and my only complaint is that the book was too short. The book only gets 4 stars because our heroine, Mallory, was a bit too ‘goody two shoes” perfect. (
